Successively later also found near the village of Ngandong, in the valley of Solo, the fossils are then specifically named Homo Soloensis.
In the village Wajak, Tulungagung, East Java also found fossils of humans who allegedly lived at the time of the End-Pluvial IV (estimated at 100,000 years BC) was named Homo Wajakensis.
Also strong evidence findings Marina kingdom in Madagascar, which was founded by immigrants from the Nusantara in the era before Christ. It is quite interesting if we understand the distance between the Nusantara to Madagascar is located around 6500 km.
